Civil Air Patrol Until Retirement?

Capped

It looks like I'll be able to pull a few days of the encampment (have to fly missions in between) so we'll see. I am about 2 years behind my PT Test (I was on IRR this past year and on EAD the year before), and a year behind the RCPHA. They have mentioned it a couple months ago but nothing has been done as of yet so I'll press. I was just gained the beginning of July.
Because of my various AFSCs I get picked and sometimes volunteer for EADs so I'd like to plan on doing most of the 35 points doing CAP duties before playing GI Joe. I heard E promotions are hard to come by, so I'm hoping all my EAD and Combat tours will help.

Any time on CAP requirement before I can ask to be put in for the OVSM?

Thanks a lot for the info.

Actually, if you get an FAA Class I medical exam, it counts for your RCPHA. If you go to this website: http://arpc.afrc.af.mil/medical/operations/forms_pubs.asp and click on the RCRHA form, print and fill it out and take it to your AME, he signs the last page and you can fax it to SGP medical branch along with your FAA Medical form (the whole form, not just the certificate) and they'll count it. Check out http://arpc.afrc.af.mil/medical/operations/physical_exams.asp for more info. Plus you can log a point for something you have to do anyway....
